Escape the fast paced world and retreat to nature.

Cedar Park Rainforest Resort is a privately owned, award winning wildlife retreat situated between the famous rainforest village of Kuranda and the bustling rural town of Mareeba. Just forty minutes from Cairns International Airport, all the attractions of Cairns and the Atherton Tablelands are easily accessible. Cedar Park is a convenient base to enjoy all this amazing area has to offer.

Cedar Park’s Gothic style lodge is situated in the rainforest along a spring fed creek offering wading and swimming holes. With only six suites, our retreat is an intimate and peaceful place to step back from life’s fast pace. Your spacious and cool stone-floored suite has a private outdoor area to soak in the sounds of the rainforest around you. Bordering national park, guests may hike a loop through the rainforest for a healthy one hour exploration.

Wallabies wander through the property and its unlikely you’ll visit us without seeing many. We have a resident peacock who likes to spread his feathers. In the creek there are several Platypus who are often spotted by guests.

The Restaurant at Cedar Park features covered al fresco dining in nature. Sip a drink from the bar as the sun goes down and the evening wildlife tunes in, then savor a delicious home cooked meal. Our complementary continental buffet breakfast is served in the same setting.

Cedar Park has the advantage of being adjacent to the Barron Gorge National Park, an area of rainforest, gorges and waterfalls. An enormous variety of flora and fauna abound amongst the thick vegetation, many of which are often viewed from your room’s veranda. Bird-watchers come especially to sight rare and seasonal birds. Professors have brought student groups to study the insects, frogs, lichens and medicinal plants located on our property and across the creek in the national park.

Cedar Park are a self-drive destination and do not provide a pick-up service. To explore the beauty of the Tablelands you are more flexible with a car. Rental cars are available at the airport and Cairns city.

Cedar Park welcome children age 10 and older as guests in the rooms in order to assure a peaceful environment for all visitors. There are no age limitations for the restaurant on weekends.

Cedar Park has no mobile reception, something most guests consider a welcome respite. You may use our land line for free to contact the outside world. We do offer use of our satellite internet connection.
